The next day.
After breakfast, Long Mo led the team to go hunting.
After Hu Jiaojiao sent the cubs out, she went to Hu Qinglu's house.
It had been six days since she last went to see her third brother. The textile machine was probably ready, and she had to go and take a look.
With a textile machine, she could speed up the process and make more cloth.
Not long after, Hu Jiaojiao came to Hu Qinglu's house.
"Little sister, you're here, I was just about to look for you!" Hu Qinglu was just going out, and when he saw Hu Jiaojiao coming, he smiled happily.
"Third brother, let me see if the textile machine is ready." Hu Jiaojiao called and asked.
"It's ready, come in and take a look."
Hu Qinglu welcomed Hu Jiaojiao into the yard, and couldn't wait to show her his achievements.
The yard was still full of messy things, but the left side of the yard was tidy and clean, as if two completely different spaces were spliced together.
There were two rows of textile machines in the clean yard on the left.
Hu Jiaojiao counted them and found that there were exactly ten.
"Don't worry, little sister. I have tried all these textile machines. I guarantee that each one is the same as the one I gave you before. If there is any problem, you can ask me to fix it. I promise that I will be there at your call."
Hu Qinglu said proudly, with a feeling of Wang Po selling melons.
"Third brother, thank you. You are so busy, but I still let you make the weaving machine." Hu Jiaojiao expressed her gratitude sincerely.
"Little sister, if you say that again, I will be angry."
Hu Qinglu heard this and frowned.
"Am I such a weak beastman, your third brother? Besides, even if I am busy, my little sister's affairs will always come first."
Hu Jiaojiao knew that if she said thank you again, Hu Qinglu might really get angry.
She smiled and said:
"Then I will send the clothes to third brother first when I make them."
"Okay." Hu Qinglu was happy after hearing this.
The clothes made by my little sister herself, those guys don't have them.
He even wore them before Long Mo, how could he not be excited.
After inspecting the goods, Hu Qinglu found a few beastmen to help him send the spinning machine to the females.
The washing and drying of ramie are done by the river, but the subsequent processes do not need to be done by the river. Fengsheng and his friends discussed with Hu Jiaojiao and decided to put the spinning machine at Lu Mian'er's house. The spinning machine
was temporarily placed in her former wooden house, and the females carried out the subsequent processes and weaving there.
Fengsheng took the remaining females to continue processing ramie by the river.
Hu Jing originally wanted to join Lu Mian'er, but she was not good at delicate work. After she almost unloaded the spinning machine, she was dragged to the river to process ramie with Fengsheng.
Now Hu Jing has become the number one target of caution for Lu Mian'er's group of females.
The wooden house is too small to accommodate eleven spinning machines.
Fortunately, the yard is large, so Hu Jiaojiao asked them to put the spinning machines in the yard temporarily. The weather has been sunny these days, and they can build a waterproof shed. This way, there will be better sunlight during the day, and there is no need to worry about the spinning machines getting wet in the rain.
After placing the spinning machines, Lu Mian'er called Hu Jiaojiao.
"Jiaojiao, this is the cloth we have woven these days. Do you think it looks okay?"
Lu Mian'er took out a roll of cloth from the wooden house.
The fiber of ramie is pure white, and the fabric made from it is also white, but the orcs did not handle it so cleanly and meticulously, so the color does not look so pure, and there is a slight yellowing, but it does not affect its use.
Foxy touched it again.
The fabric is very thin and feels very soft. Although the workmanship is a little rough and not very smooth, it is not a big deal.
It is very good to be able to make such a fabric for the first time.
"Okay, do it this way in the future." Foxy nodded with an admiring expression.
Clothes made of ramie are easy to wash, not easy to wrinkle, and do not shrink. They also dry quickly after washing, which is very suitable for orcs.
Thinking that she would be able to wear soft and thin clothes made of ramie soon, Hu Jiaojiao was looking forward to it.
Lu Mian'er also breathed a sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile.
But looking at the not very smooth cloth, she still made up her mind that she would have to be more serious in the future and not make any mistakes. She had to make better cloth to repay Jiaojiao.
The two spread out the cloth again, and Hu Jiaojiao looked at the length.
This roll of cloth is about ten meters long.
A piece of cloth is about thirty-three meters, and this is less than one-third of a piece of cloth. Although the speed is a bit slow, Hu Jiaojiao is not in a hurry.
You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
There are a total of eleven spinning machines. The spinning machines are not so easy to use. Once everyone can use them skillfully, the speed will naturally increase.
The females all took turns learning how to use the textile machine. Lu Mian'er picked out ten of the most careful females and had them weave cloth with her using the textile machine.
Hu Jiaojiao and Lu Mian'er arranged all these, and then tried the textile machine to make sure it worked properly.
When they were about to leave, they saw that the beastmen outside the yard had already left, leaving only Hu Qinglu and another beastman talking outside the yard.
Hu Jiaojiao said hello and went out to look for Hu Qingshan.
When he got closer, he realized that Hu Qingshan's face was not looking good.
"Third brother, what happened?"
Hu Qinglu stopped talking immediately when he heard Hu Jiaojiao's voice, turned around and looked over with a gentle smile.
"It's okay, little sister. Are the looms easy to use?"
Hu Jiaojiao nodded, "Very easy to use."
Then he looked at another beastman.
"What were you talking about just now?"
"Wood and stone are not hard enough, so many things can't be made. We are trying to find something harder."
The beastman answered without thinking.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was glared at by Hu Qinglu.
How can this guy talk so fast?
"Not hard enough?" Hu Jiaojiao thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered that there were indeed many things in the drawings she gave to her third brother that could not be made with wood and stone alone.
"Little sister, don't listen to his nonsense, you don't have to worry about this, we can solve it." Hu Qinglu didn't want Hu Jiaojiao to be tired.
The beastman curled his lips and whispered, "But where can we find something harder than stone? Such a thing doesn't exist at all..."
Hu Jiaojiao heard this and a light bulb flashed in his head.
"Something harder than stone, it really exists!"
If they could find an iron mine like the Canglang Tribe, then the third brother would be able to make more weapons and items that would be beneficial to the tribe, and the tribe's strength would be greatly improved.
Hu Jiaojiao immediately told the two people about the iron mine she had seen in the Canglang Tribe.
After hearing this, the orc was extremely excited.
But after a while, he became depressed again.
"But the iron ore is in the Canglang Tribe. Where can we find such an iron ore?"
He had never seen such a thing since he was a child.
It's easy to guess that this thing must be difficult to find.
Hearing that there is such a thing as iron ore, Hu Qinglu was also a little excited, but he quickly thought of the question raised by the orc and calmed down.
Looking at the lost expressions of the two, Hu Jiaojiao had a bold idea in his mind.
"Iron ore is indeed hard to find, but isn't it already available?"
